    6.1 Finally some success for Ireland and it is Young who strikes! Length ball on the stumps. Salt looks for a drive on the up, but the length means he cannot find the elevation. Gives extra cover a simple catch. Much-needed wicket for Ireland 55/1
    31.5 Jacks holes out shy of a hundred! Wanted to get the slog-sweep going again but this time it sails high towards deep midwicket, doesn't have the distance. Balbirnie has time to settle underneath it and gratefully accepts the chance. Jacks walks off with a rueful look, a fine innings comes to a close just six runs shy of a maiden international ton 205/4
    6.3 Huge appeal for lbw and the umpire agrees almost immediately! Crawley has a chat with his partner and off he goes. That looked plumb from the get-go. Young gets the length ball to move slightly into Crawley, who plays all around it and is caught right in front of off and middle. The ball hit his back pad and would have rattled his stumps. Young has two wickets in three balls. Hawk-eye confirms the ball would have hit the top of middle stump. 56/2
    23.3 gone - paddled straight to the man at short fine! Speared in full and Duckett telegraphs his intention to scoop the ball, flicked off the face of the bat but Adair is smartly across to intercept on the run. Much-needed breakthrough for Ireland 158/3
    49.2 No debut century for Hain. Was a fuller-length ball on the stumps. Hain gets across looking to whip it across the line. Gets a leading edge that spoons straight up and mid-off gets across to his right to complete the catch. Hain falls for 89 on debut. Lovely innings. 328/8
    35.1 Straight down long-on's throat. Smith's debut ends on 9. Jumps down the pitch, seeing the ball flighted on middle. Doesn't get enough bat on it and ends up dragging the ball to Adair, who goes reverse-cupped and pouches a simple catch. 223/5
    43.6 Little finally has his man. Banged in short outside off, was the slower offcutter. Carse backs away and looks to go over extra cover, but is deceived by the pace. Can only find extra cover, who comes forward and completes a comfortable catch. Sprightly innings from Carse. 286/6
    46.1 Not his best delivery in ODI cricket, but he gets a wicket. Knee-high full toss outside off. Rehan backs away and looks to go on-side. Loses his grip and biffs it straight to mid-off. Looks to the square leg umpire checking for a no-ball, but that was fine 300/7

    3.6 edged and got him! But has he overstepped...? Rod Tucker is being spoken to by the third umpire, and Scrimshaw looks physically sick as his team-mates congratulate him. IT'S OKAY! Huge relief for the bowler, who has had a torrid start on debut but claims Balbirnie's wicket with the final ball of his second over. Probing line, extra bounce and the low edge was snapped up by Duckett to his left 46/1
    4.1 nip-backer, pop goes the weasel! And pop the bails, as Potts finds the gap between bat and pad! Trent Bridge erupts for the second time in as many balls, as Ireland's captain is bowled through the gate looking to defend. Precision engineering from Potts, and both openers are back in the shed 46/2
    8.4 nibbles away, nibbles the edge, Potts has another! Excellent line and Campher knows he's nicked it. Smith takes the catch low down as the ball starts to die on him. Rueful look from the batter as he heads off, Ireland three down early 69/3
    19.2 Jacks has taken a lovely catch running back! And Rehan has a wicket. Floated outside off. Tector looks to clear his front leg and go down the ground. He does not reach the pitch though and gets more height than elevation. Would have still hoped to clear mid-off but Jacks runs back, keeps his eye on the ball and completes the catch 121/5
    14.3 short ball, Tucker climbs into it... and Duckett makes a flying grab! Didn't quit connect with the pull, the ball looped tantalisingly in front of Duckett at midwicket and he threw himself to pull off an excellent catch. Scrimshaw has a second, his debut continues to improve 103/4
    31.5 Rehan has four and the googly is sure doing the damage today. Wrong'un on middle stump. Dockrell looks to go over long-on, but does not get it cleanly. His loft goes as far as Salt at long-on, who takes a simple catch. 188/8
    23.5 Lands the googly and does McBrine all ends up! Amidst all the short ball, here comes a Rehan special. Lands it bang on off stump and gets to turn away from the batter ever so slightly. McBrine does not pick the wrong'un, plays down the wrong line and sees his off stump pegged back 137/6
    25.4 The googly does the trick for Rehan again. Or does it? Adair has reviewed it almost instantly. Inside-edge? Impact outside off? Neither. Pushed the wrong'un on off. Adair prods forward and misses it. Replays return umpire's call on impact with the ball smashing into leg stump. Off he goes. 157/7

    38.3 yorked 'im! Pinpoint from Carse, 89mph/143kph and middle stump takes a battering! McCarthy has played nicely but won't be adding to his List A centuries today 231/9

    46.4 full and slogged... straight to long-on! Scrimshaw finishes what he started and England win by 48 runs. Any tension building at Trent Bridge swiftly dissipates as Little attempts one big hit too many and toe-ends it to the man back 286/10
